Knowledgable and Honest

Working with Katie during a difficult custody/support disagreement was one of the best decisions I made during the process. Her expertise and knowledge turned a stressful situation into a manageable transaction that was handled clearly and concisely. Katie's focus was 100% on securing the best poss...ible outcome for me in accordance with the law. She was direct and honest about what I could expect, and advised me on the best course to reach a solid child-focused agreement. Katie has a firm knowledge of family law. Throughout the process she helped my case by quickly identifying inconsistencies in the opposition and clarifying them for the record. Katie is solution focused and does not waste your time or money. If you are looking for an honest and knowledgeable professional, I would highly recommend Katie Anderson.

Tenacious, Diligent, Honest, and Knowlegable

Katie and her team were amazing! She guided me through all of the hurdles of our complex legal system. Her ability to cut the crap and get to the point was invaluable in my case. I would recommend her to anyone thinking of hiring a family law attorney. She is worth every penny. BTW, she is a fast... moving, no nonsense person, and she gets results! Thanks for everything.

Couldn't Ask For a Better Attorney

It would be hard to find an attorney who has the experience and knowledge Mrs. Anderson has. She is professional, timely, and an expert in Family Law. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs assistance with anything pertaining to Family Law.

Ms. Katie Anderson, is amazing...

I would like to recommend Ms.Katie Anderson for Family Law and all legal advice that goes along with it. She is capable of anything that may pertain to Family Law. She has worked with me to help my family through and very difficult time. She is smart, level headed and has a very good grasp on not on...ly the legal system but the way to apply the California code to it. She's always looking at every angle. I would use her over and over and am happy to give her 2 thumbs up when it comes to a person you want by your side during a tough time. She stood next to me and represented me in a fashion that I was proud of. She gave me advice that has helped me today still deal with the same issues that come up with my ex-husband. I can say from experience, that the other side was not as professional and honorable as Ms. Anderson. To me this is important when your family is involved and in court. I will never forget how she was honest with me even when the truth was not what I wanted to hear. Her firm is also not only supportive of her, but you/I as a client. You get a team, a family when you work with Ms. Anderson. With Ms. Katie Anderson you get the best in what may be the worst situation. She really knows her business and will protect you. The system won't protect you so you need someone like her on your team.

Review

Kathryn Anderson has proven through the past several years she is an expert in family law and Child custody issues. Kathryn was able to fight for my rights as a single Father at the time, and was successful in having the courts award me full legal and physical custody of my son. I would recommend K...athryn and will continue to refer her services. I cant say enough about Kathryn she has forever changed our lives.
